The US isn’t a democracy though, it is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, where every election we get to select which group of oppressors will wield state power against us until the next one.

Also decline is caused by anticolonial resistance and the logic of capitalism breaking down. I would suggest reading Lenin’s “imperialism” and Fanon’s “wretched of the earth”

The acquisition and accumulation of wealth

There is the problem, you don’t even know how to define capitalism. I would suggest reading “wage labor and capital” and “value price and profit”

Just so you know you can’t defeat fascism without defeating capitalism. I recommend reading “the economy and class structure of german fascism” and “fascism and social revolution”.

In general individual action doesn’t really help address social problems.

Politics isn’t gonna fix what is being undermined and dissassembled in our Democracy right now.

I dont think electoral politics will work but you have to expand your definition of politics if you think electoral politics is all that politics is.

He didn’t though, Jill stein got like 40 percent, Harris and Trump got 20 each.

Honestly this simplification comes off as disingenuous and attempting to play Arab voters are more conservative and backwards.

I think the correct thing to do to give yourself agency moving forward is to project blame onto 10 million people staying home.

I think that this will let you further develop yourself and do the things required to meet your goals.

What do you have agency over right now? Are you part of any democratically run political organization right now?

Because it is causing the issue by propping up an apartheid state and giving them the weapons they’re using to commit genocide

Youre correct that there was a purge of military in Nazi Era Germany, but beyond that you kind of misunderstand the very collaborationist relationship that the nazis and the existing military industrial apparatus. I would really suggest reading The Economy and Class Structure of German Fascism by Alfred Sohn-Rethel for a little bit of a contextualization of why what you’re saying is kinda surface level analysis. Separately I’d recommend Fascism and Social Revolution by R. Palme Dutt.

Hey, Israel is a proxy state for the US. It doesn’t control the US that way.

I’ve read a lot of stuff on the development of the military industrial complex in Germany and fascism’s relationship to it both while it was gaining power and had power and I’m not seeing any parallels, could you explain?

I’m not gonna rub salt in the wound. Please join a socialist org if you care about resisting fascism.

The US coup where Victoria Nuland is recorded plotting to install the far right government that ended up being installed over the more moderate protest leaders triggered it.

After ww1 there was one socialist country.

After ww2 one third of humans lived in a socialist country.

That number has risen since. Capitalism is slowly making its way off the stage of history.

With all due respect, but if you want to believe the Hamas and other terrorist groups want to fight for “freedom” instead of eradicating the entire Jewish population, discussions with you on this topic are fruitless.

These people are a terrorist caricature one could find in a bad American bush era movie to you, aren’t they?

But the goal or “Mission” of the Hamas is to eradicate all jews.

Source that isn’t from the 90s when they were a marginal fundamentalist group and not a leading member of a coalition fighting for a secular democracy?

First off, the foundations remain the same, colonial.

Second off, is creating a secular democracy without an apartheid system, aka “destroying Israel” going to kill everyone? Did the collapse of apartheid South Africa kill all the white people there?

And all these people think Israel are the good guys? I wonder what their opinions about apartheid South Africa were at the time.

Israel was explicitly founded as a settler-colonial project, you can look up quotes from famous founding zionists.

“You are being invited to help make history … it doesn’t involve Africa, but a piece of Asia Minor; not Englishmen, but Jews … How, then, do I happen to turn to you since this is an out-of-the-way matter for you? How indeed? Because it is something colonial.”

Theodore Herzl to a Rhodesian representative

The guys doing the genocide and the guys fighting the genocide and for a secular democracy are the same actually /s

Are the real qualifications a caliper set and an unwillingness to talk about what they used to do before they got a position in the west German military?

If she is okay with things you should leave it alone, lest you put pressure on her to orgasm which is like, one of the least sexy things I can think of.

You can enjoy sex without orgasming. Sometimes my partner or I will opt for strap sex even though it is harder for both of us to orgasm because it feels nice/scratches a different itch. If she wanted to orgasm during sex she’d probably start masturbating to make it easier to do.
